Just a note about a current attack. I just got an email
with an attached .SCR. No message. Screensaver!
I'd forgotten those existed.

I changed HKCR\.scr default value to "txtfile" and deleted
HKCR\scrfile\

I don't know of any reason for screensavers to still exist.
I certainly don't use them.

You don't, but I'm sure that there are someones who still use
them. Default, habit, "no reason" not too.


There is no need to download a screen saver program, as a screen saver
is part of Windows 10 Personnalization Background one of three choices
in that window. I use to use a screen saver when I would leave my
desktop on for extended periods. Because of life changes, I turn it
off when not in use.

I have always used my own pictures for wall paper. When I get tired of
the wall paper, I look at my old pictures and change to something else.
When we go some where like a vacation I always am thinking of what would
make goood wallpaper when I am taking photos.
